Grass Roots

If you ever read revelations
They said everything that happened then was gon' happen today
Ain't none of this shit by coincidence
The diseases, the shootings
Quit sitting around waiting for somebody to change it
We gotta be the change we want nigga
And y'all know who I'm talkin' to

Used to be whips and lashes (come on)
Now it's just whips and lashes (we're all slaves)
Used to be chains and blood
Now they spilling blood for chains (come on) (still all slaves)
Used to be house and field niggas
Still all the houses filled with them ('cause we're all slaves)

Women getting stripped for knowledge
Now them bitches strip for dollars (still all slaves)
Mass shootings everywhere (we're all slaves)
Class shootings everywhere (still all slaves)
It's mad Putin's everywhere (we're all slaves)
They grass root them everywhere (still all slaves)

It's like the more you claim you're innocent the more you rot
Shoot me don't rescue me
How the fuck I'm supposed to call the cops
Black and a king that's the shit that had got Martin shot
Obama tried change
Y'all don't realize we don't call the shots (trump in office)

Niggas actin' like the world would stop
Then Biden came around and house niggas dancing on the block
Ain' t get shit done
And now the world was shocked
They don't care about no buffalo
They cappin' like the bucket low

Do black lives matter?
When black lives scatter?
And the got rise and it clap guys
And black lives shatter?
They make black lives the bad guys
Better analyze the data, unarmed still at harm
Want us gone, what they'd rather
Motherfucker

Used to be whips and lashes (come on)
Now it's just whips and lashes (we're all slaves)
Used to be chains and blood
Now they spilling blood for chains (come on) (still all slaves)
Used to be house and field niggas
Still all the houses filled with them ('cause we're all slaves)

Women getting stripped for knowledge
Now them bitches strip for dollars (still all slaves)
Mass shootings everywhere (we're all slaves)
Class shootings everywhere (still all slaves)
It's mad Putin's everywhere (we're all slaves)
They grass root them everywhere (still all slaves)

Niggas dyin', momma's cryin'
Say we need to change the law
Before you try it, think about it
Who you think arranged the law?
Been a slave since the days
That they said them chains was off (come on)
Give fuck about ya pain at all (come on)
Fuck you think they made them for (come on)

I remember back being five
When I thought God was white (yeah)
America's appropriation
Swear it's all alike (I swear)
So next time a body dropping on recording right (no)

Try sparking fuck marching, we ain't gonna strike
Tired of wrongs going right
Hit him twice he saw the light
Know it gotta be more to life than here today and gone tonight
Brought on ships, bought him like
You ordered this, sold his rights
Long time been going white wince we here niggas ought to fight
Yeah

Used to be whips and lashes (come on)
Now it's just whips and lashes (we're all slaves)
Used to be chains and blood
Now they spilling blood for chains (come on) (still all slaves)
